IMPROVEMENT IN RAZOR-STROPS.

Speciiication forming part of Letters Patent No. 196,985, dated November 13, 1877 application filed l March 19, 1877.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN MAXsON, of Scott, in the county of Cortland and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Iniprovelnent in Razor-Strops, of which the following is a specification:

Figure l is an edge view of my improved razor-strop. Fig. 2 is a face view of the hone part of the strop. Fig. 3 is a side view of the strop folded for carriage, the case being shown in section.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to improve the construction of the razor-strop for which Letters Patent No. 170,635 were issued N ovember 30, 1875, so `as to enable it to be more easily and cheaply made, and make it more convenient for travelers use. 4

The invention will rst be described in connection with the drawing, and then pointed out in the claim.

A represents the stock of the strop, which is faced with leather prepared to act as a hone. To the forward end of the stock A is attached the end of a loose strap, B, which is made of the same length and breadth as the face of the hone A, and to its free end is attached a ring, D, to hook upon a hook, E, ate tached to the handle C, in such a position as will give the proper bend to the hone A and the proper tension to the strap B.

The handle C is connected with the stock line with each other, as shownin Figs. l andV 2, when the strop is 1n use, and allow the handle C to be turned down upon the rear side of thestock A, as shown in Fig. 3, when the strop is to be carried.

Having thus described my invention, IV

claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- A razor-strop consisting of stock A, loose strap B, folding handle C, ring D, and hook E, all constructed and arranged as shown and described.
